Special interests

Many autistic people have a highly focused level of interest in particular topics. Some special interests begin in childhood, but some are picked up later in life. These interests can vary, for example, from a TV show or game to a type of animal, a type of machine or a country. They bring...

Who wrote that website.... someone whos not autistic and has no experience of it?

"special interest" is nonsense, its "hyper focused interest" and they usually last anywhere from 2 weeks to maybe 8 before the person usually finds something else fascinating.

My adult son has a stupid amount of playtime in some games though.

It also states

they bring autistic people much joy and can be a positive influence on the rest of their lives - helping them develop friendships, determining what they might study or focusing their career choice.

only 22% of autistic people had a job as of 2021 stats and Idoubt you would find many who find "joy" in their life, most seem depressed and abandoned by society

Autistic people don;t really develop friendships because the majority get burnt out so fast from social interaction they end up distant and losing contact and then won't do anything to maintain it.


Oh I just read the "about us" seems their only experience is with autistic children...... (roll eyes cos no one cares about autistic adults and theres 0 help if you need it)

I didn't post the article because of its medical validity. I posted it as a joke.

Also, as an autistic adult (diagnosed in adulthood) I don't really relate to anything you've said, it is a spectrum after all.

I'm sorry you feel there is no help available. I get a lot of support through work and in fact we really embrace the neurodiversity especially in defence sector. So again, can't really relate.
Outside of work though, I don't really feel I need it, I adapt to stuff as best I can and not really sure what anyone else could do for me.

Edit. Actually yes on the friends thing. I can happily not see people for a long long time and have no need or ability to have a large social circle. Quality > quantity there.

Anyhoo, people want to talk about RT, not watch Autismo the clown show. Happy to talk about any of it in a more appropriate place.
